Last Days of the Fringe!

Final chance to Fringe today and tomorrow only!

You only have two days to get your Fringe on! Photo by Carlos Santos.

Today is September 16 which means you have only today and tomorrow to get your Fringe on! There is still a lot going on. But what to do? Rock out to the impressive lineup of local music at the Big Rock Brewery Fringe Bar! See some of the 100 shows! You may not have a chance to see them again! Head out there before it’s too late!

You can buy tickets online, at the Box Office, or at the venue starting 45 minutes before show time, if they’re not sold out. You have 48 hours to get your fill of the Fringe before it’s gone—the clock is ticking!

Show Us Some Off-Island Love

Beaver Dreams is one of our off-Island shows. Find these curious beavers at Havana Theatre! Photo by Yelena Markova.

If you’ve spent the last nine days on Granville Island and feel a little Fringed out, we have a solution for you! See MORE Fringey shows—off Island, at any of our seven off-Island venues! Here’s how you can show us some off-Island love.

It’s true—we’re everywhere! To find out more about shows off-Island, take a look at our Program Guide, which sorts shows by venue. And find addresses and maps to all our venues here!

Wrapping up the Fringe with the Artists’ Cabaret and Awards Night!

The Vancouver Fringe Festival is coming to a close but that doesn’t mean it’s over yet! In fact, we still have two exciting events headed your way: the Artist Cabaret and Awards Night!

The super top secret Artist Cabaret has returned. It’s the Big Brother’s Cabaret of Bullshit! Photo by Rosemarie Gresham.

What can we tell you about the Artist Cabaret? Not much actually. As it turns out, the Artist Cabaret is a super top secret performance completely put together by Fringe Artists—Fringe Staff are strictly kept out of the loop. We only know these three things: Firstly, it’s called the Big Brother’s Cabaret of Bullshit. Secondly, it’s completely lit by flashlights (brought from home or purchased by donation at the door). And finally, it sells out every year! Has that peaked your interest? Then we’ll see you Saturday, September 16 at 11:00pm at Performance Works! Tickets are $15 and are only sold at the door—so be sure to arrive 45 minutes early!

And if you haven’t gotten your fill of the Fringe on Saturday, come Sunday for Fringe Awards Night! We are happy to announce that your entrance fee, which is by cash donation, will be going to support the Performing Arts Lodges (PAL), an organization which provides longstanding members of Vancouver’s performing arts professions with affordable housing.

Last Chance to Win a Trip to Costa Rica!

You still have time to win an all expenses paid trip to Costa Rica! Have you bought your ticket yet? Photo by Chris Shrubsall.

Ready to fly 7500 km away on a trip for two to Costa Rica with G Adventures? Too far? How about driving 120 km for a four-night stay for two at Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa? It comes with a Swedish massage at the Spa at Nita Lake Lodge. Still too far? How about staying here and enjoying a free subscription to Float House? If any of this sounds appealing to you, you’ll want to by a raffle ticket to win one—or all—of these prizes! But, here’s the thing. You have to buy tickets before 6:00pm on September 17 to be entered to win. So what are you waiting for?

Tickets may be only sold and purchased in British Columbia.
Ticket purchasers must be 19 years of age or older. If a winning ticket bears a minor’s name, the prize will be lawfully delivered on behalf of the minor parent, legal guardian, or trustee.
Prizes have no equivalent cash value.
